Nicky Butt urges Manchester United to re-sign James Garner from Everton after a standout season. Garner, a product of the United academy, made a £15 million transfer to Everton four years ago following loan spells at Watford and Nottingham Forest. At just 25, he has become instrumental for the Toffees under David Moyes, racking up eight goal contributions as Everton aims for European qualification.
Garner's stellar performances earned him his first England call-up last month, where he impressed in matches against Uruguay and Japan, receiving accolades from manager Thomas Tuchel. With Casemiro set to leave, United seeks to revamp its midfield, and Butt believes Garner could return to Old Trafford soon, despite potential challenges in securing a deal this summer.
“Why not bring him back?” Butt states. “He’s thriving under pressure at a big club.” He emphasizes Garner’s growth since leaving United, noting his drive and determination. Butt likens him to a modern-day midfielder with all-around skills, highlighting his ability to pass, defend, and sprint effectively. Garner’s breakout season positions him as a strong contender for Tuchel’s final squad for the upcoming tournament in North America.
